DAYS 1-2

As the mother of the most awesome child in the world, I am creating this in honor of my son Caleb. Either in the womb or within the first month of life Caleb suffered a stroke cause by a blood clot in his cerebral artery. This left him partially paralyzed on his left side. He has very limited mobility with his left hand/arm, and also has a noticeable limp.

Everyday is a struggle for kids like Caleb, and what make it even harder is the fact that there is a serious lack of awareness about kids like Caleb. Many healthcare professionals are in the dark about pediatric stroke, as was Calebs pediatrician at the time of his diagnosis.

This Blog is to help remedy that.......

Yesterday was May 1st the first day of Pediatric Stroke Awareness month, it was also Calebs 8th birthday party! What a testament to what a child can accomplish. Having his party at JUMPZONE was proof that this kid can do what ever he wants to if he puts his mind to it.

So this month I am Streaking for Pediatric Stroke. I will be using this blog to help share some of my experiances and also to share information about Pediatric Stroke. If we can raise awareness then we can make a huge difference in these kids lives! Thanks and I hope you stick with me :D
